7.    “We have just returned from a visit to your beautiful country, and would like to tell you about our experience. We traveled with Travcoa before and so had fairly high expectations, but this tour far exceeded all our expectations. Our transfers from city to city were smooth and all administrative details of flight and hotel check-ins were handled with what looked like effortlessness, but obviously took a great amount of effort and coordination. Clearly all this cannot be accomplished without a well-managed organization, and Dinknesh certainly fits this description.

8.    “… All logistical services for the UNFPA Donor Leadership Delegation group were executed by Dinknesh with both efficiency and professionalism. There was not a single logistical glitch, problem or oversight of any type. I am a twenty year veteran of designing and operating group tours around the world, and I was very impressed with all Dinknesh’s arrangements. The itinerary worked perfectly, the hotels were all the correct choices, the times allowed for activities worked well. The drivers, both on the main itinerary and on the extension itinerary were professional, responsive, safe and reliable…. I was entirely happy and content with ALL Dinknesh services. The group was entirely happy with all Dinknesh services. We all left Ethiopia feeling that we had been in excellent and professional hands throughout. Your flexibility and ability to adjust to changing circumstances as we traveled was very much appreciated and very valuable to a group such as ours…. Truly, you are a professional and excellent tour operator, and Wildland adventures will continue to use your services for all our groups and individuals, and for future UNFPA groups…. All in all, Dinknesh has done very well for this group and we are exceedingly happy with all Dinknesh service. We would – and will – recommend Dinknesh to any that ask for recommendations for tour operators in EthiopiaAdrian Chalker

His rapport with the group members, his organisational skills, and his willingness to do anything asked of kim made the tour a very memorable journey. Our drivers in Addis, Omo, and Dire Dawa/Harar were all great. The vehicles were well maintained, comfortable and kept clean.
